Programme

All Monday classes will be held in Wilberforce Lecture Theatre 1; Tuesday-Friday classes will be held in Wilberforce Lecture Theatre 2;

The Courtyard accommodation is open 24 hours for arrivals. The School Icebreaker with snacks and drinks will take place from 7pm, Sunday September 2 2018, at the Multifunction Room at the Courtyard with school registration desk open from 5.30pm in the same room. The registration desk will also be open on Monday, Sep 3, 2018, 7.30-9am.

In order to make the first days as productive as possible we’d like to ensure as many people as possible have the equipment and software necessary all configured.

It’s highly advised that participants have their own laptops to bring to the presentations, the vast majority of the content will be interactive so anyone without access to a machine during the workshop will be at a significant disadvantage. A limited number of laptops can be provided at Hull, so if you need one for the week then please email Alex Hamilton or Sergei Zharkov ASAP so it can be arranged.

The software we expect to use includes Python 3 with a package manager (ideally Anaconda) and working Jupyter Notebook, a Git client and a text editor.

Full Installation instructions are avalible on the Open Astronomy website that will also host up to date programme along with lesson materials and recordings.

If you have any questions or issues with installation, then please don’t hesitate to let us know. There is also time allocated on the Monday morning, first day of school, to fix any issues.
